MSC Cruises has announced that the refurbishment of MSC Poesia has completed with a successful transition through the Panama Canal.
This marks a key milestone as MSC Poesia prepares for her inaugural Alaska season.
MSC Poesia made its way through one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels, guests onboard experienced a front-row seat on a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Refurbishments to the ship include a brand new MSC Yacht Club, the cruise line’s exclusive ‘ship-within-a-ship’ concept, offering private facilities and 24-hour butler and concierge service. The ship’s enhancements also include an upgraded MSC Aurea Spa, gym and speciality restaurants Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar.
MSC Poesia’s Grand Voyage began with her departure from Miami and has since sailed through the Caribbean and Central America before transiting the Panama Canal.
The ship is now in the Pacific and will continue north along the coast on the final stretch of her journey to Seattle, where she will begin her Alaska itineraries on 11 May 2026.
